Why are Armenians white but Turks are not?

[Mortimer]

Turks and Kurds, in America, weren't added to the "White List" until later than Armenians. By the way, the first Armenian immigrant to America (Martin), arrived (with Captain John Smith) at Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607. Martin, a tobacco grower, also raised silkworms. In earlier times, White characteristics were more than genetic, and physical, it was also about cultural and religious orientations. It was only the Christian Levantine people who got admitted as White.

I think every nation has a first colonial immigrant, I read 3 gypsies arrived with the Mayflower. It is possible, one or two immigrants are always everyhwere. You know very well the history of armenians and turks and kurds in the USA. I dont. I just know what armenians look like as I saw many in real life, and they have a darker skin then ethnic turks and georgians, georgians and ethnic turks are lighter then armenians who look like the kurds in eastern turkey. Im not lying I saw enough armenians and enough turks, almost all turks are pale as snow, especially the hijabis.

Are you in love with a Turkish Señorita? Is that why you can't see straight?

Sorry Man, I was kidding or trolling.

Are christian Syrians white people?

Are christian Syrians white people?

The idea is a manmade concept. Some say yes, others say no.

[Loki]

Because Armenians are Christian. "White" is about more than just skin colour, culture means a great deal.

Then again, who said all Turks are non-White? Most Western Turks seem more European in outlook and they are definitely Caucasoid in race.

Are christian Syrians white people?

They usually are, yes.

What is "whiteness" what does a Greek Islander and Norseman have in common

The term itself is very flawed and misleading.

My Franco-Syrian great-grandpa was a blonde and blue eyed guy. White passing guaranted at least, I think.

I've seen enough Turks in my lifetime to know that there's no difference between Armenians or Turks in terms of pigmentation. Both groups, more or less have the same pigmentation. Georgians on the other hand(certain Georgians), are a different story.
